Looking good, Matthew. A nice, clean build.

I'll be keeping an eye on this one, I'll be building my own some day. I've already got the two pairs of twin M-60Ds and the other armament and the chopper. I've got some reference pics, too, if you are after any.

Grubby.

hey matt, great work so far! i'll be following this too, as i will be building one too. i got all the weapons, from the proper m-60's, to the minin guns and rocket pods, and i'm using the dragon UH-1D kit. also have heaps of reference pics.

The rotor blades and mast detailed.

Ive now added the interior, glued the roof into position and finished the scribing and riveting on the roof.

Great looking interior. I like the realistic wear and tear on the floor.

Looking forward to see more

Ive decided to vac form new windows using the original tranparencies


Here is my small vac former for jobs just like this.

The sound proof quilting was formed from thing aluminium sheet (or thick foil), scribed with the quilt pattern and trimmed to match templates from heavy paper.
